IMPROVEMENT IN SAW-HANDLES.

en fitlgttnlt ttfttttll it in ilZtSB idiots gated rut making part of the tillllt TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, CHARLES W. HUBBARD, of the city of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Saw-Handles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being hedto the accompanying drawings, end to the letters of reference marked thereon. I

lhe nature of my invention consists in a new astiole'of manufacture, to wit, a saw-handle constructed substantially in the form hereinafter described. i

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use-my invention, I will proceed to describe its construc tion and operation.

In the accompanying drawings, which form part of my specification- Figure-lie a side elevation of my improvement in saw-handles, and represents the manner of securing the same to thesaw-blade.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the metal part of the handle, and represents the arrangement of the bolt and its screw-nut in the handle.

In the drawings, 9 represents emotion of an ordinary saw-blade furnished with a. slot, A, which inv form and size corresponds to the form and size of the bolt B, one end of which is provided with screw-threads 0, to which is fitted a screw-nut, G, which is placed in a recess,f, mnde in the part 2' of the handle J. The back and of the saw-blade g is fitted into 2 groove made in the front end of the handle J, as indicated'by the dotted lines marked e. The part, D, of the handle which is grasped by the hand of the operator, is' formed of wood. and is secured to the metal part, J, by means of screws or rivets h As the construction and arrangement of myjmprovement in saw-handles will be readily unuerstoodby the skillful mechanic, by reference to the accompanying drawings, I will therefore, without further description or its construction, proceed-to describe its operation, which is as follows:

The bolt 13 is tul'uedso that its head a: will bein the position represented in fig. 2. The belt is then. placed in the slot A of the sew-blade g, the back end'of whichis placed in the groove indicated by tlie dotted line 2. The belt B is themturn'ed so that its head a; will be in the position represented in fig. 1 The nut G is then turned by any suitable means until it and the bolt'B have drawn the handle J and saw-blade g firmly and securely together.

It will be readily observed by the skilful mechanic that my improved saw-handle can be made of-metalor wood, or of metal and wood combined, and secured tothe saw-blade, substantially in the manner and by the means herein described; therefore I wish it clearly understood thnt I do not confine myself to any one form or arrangement of thesev'cral parts described, for the form and arrangement may'he varied and like results obtained.

Having thus described the nature, construction, and operation of my improvement, what I- claim as of my invention, isp A new article of manufacture, to wit, a saw-handle, consisting of the part J, provided with a recess,f, for the nut of the bolt B, and with a groove adapted to the end of the saw-blade, said handle and its part J being made substantially in the form herein described and represented.
